What a fabulous piece of history! So well done, and you're right about it opening one's imagination. I do remember the days of shoe service when my Grandma would take us to get a new pair.♥
I've never been a shoe fanatic for myself but I began to demand shoes for my dolls and bears from infancy. Each of my little family required some. From carpet slippers, through sandals and school shoes to Wellington boots, they were esential! Most of their clothing was knitted but, as my own shoes were fitted, so we're theirs. My most loved bear, Growler, had three pairs of carpet slippers bought at my godfather's doll hospital. I earned the purchase price by sweeping the floor and organising the racks of doll clothes there every Saturday for weeks, just to buy one pair in each colour. He was very much the smoking jacket and carpet slippers type bear in his youth. Now he's just a thread bear, poor chap. Please than Susan and Lou for yet another glimpse into their extraordinary doll town. These videos are so relaxing to watch.
I remember going Brown's Shoe Fit Co. as a child. I got to choose a small toy/trinket, out of the 'treasure chest', after my mom paid for the shoes. What a magical and precious memory!
Good theory for such a rare item - what a special display! Talking about shoes - Going to the shoe store was a big deal back in the days of The Brannock Device. Keds, Buster Browns, PF Fliers; you may not be old enough to remember those as choices for kids' shoes.
That's incredible- when you said all the boxes had shoes in them, I was mesmerized. Don't give up those fabulous shoes- I took a photo of you wearing them at the doll show. BTW, is there a doll show in Seattle this year? We can't find any info for one.
So Incredibly Fabulous ❣️
It brightens my day when you put out a little video treat! Thank you for all the work you put into sharing your magical world with us.💜
Wow, thank you!
